This inaugural adventure will be three days of conversation, poetry, and community with Krista Tippett, beloved teachers from the show and the blog, and the entire On Being team.

In large and small groups, they will take up the possibilities of this moment to generatively inhabit the spaces of our lives and renew common life in a fractured world. There will be shared meals and music in the evenings, and plenty of space across the three days for restoration, one-on-one conversation, and quiet reflection. Participants will then return to their communities with ideas, practices & relationships to share in the spirit of On Beings’s Civil Conversations Project & Krista’s NY Times best-selling book, Becoming Wise.

About

1440 Multiversity -named for the 1440 minutes in a day, was founded on the belief that each minute is an opportunity to be present and aware of how we connect with what matters, both within and around us. The nation’s newest learning destination focusing on immersion workshops for integrated living.

Krista Tippett is a Peabody Award-winning broadcaster & New York Times best-selling author. As creator & host of public radio’s On Being, she takes up the great questions of meaning amidst the political, economic, cultural, and technological shifts of 21st-century life. Her most recent book is Becoming Wise: An Inquiry into the Mystery & Art of Living.

Becoming Wise: An Inquiry into the Mystery and Art of Living by Krista Tippett, 2016.

In Becoming Wise, Krista Tippett has created a master class in living for a fractured world. Fracture, she says, is not the whole story of our time. The enduring question of what it means to be human has become inextricable from the challenge of who we are to one another. She insists on the possibility of personal depth and common life for this century, nurtured by science and “spiritual technologies,” with civility and love as muscular public practice. And, accompanied by a cross-disciplinary dream team of a teaching faculty, Tippett shows us how.

… Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? ~Mary Oliver

The consummate summer camping festival for conscientious music fans -ARISE is renowned for bold and progressive “global cooling” initiatives, such as a long-held commitment to planting one tree with every ticket sold, staging a pre-festival permaculture training, local sourcing, an organic farmer’s market in the campground, and a leave-no-trace ethos. More than a music festival, it’s a movement. See here for lineup & tickets.

We have not even to risk the adventure alone
for the heroes of all time have gone before us.
The labyrinth is thoroughly known …
we have only to follow the thread of the hero path.
And where we had thought to find an abomination
we shall find a God.

And where we had thought to slay another
we shall slay ourselves.
Where we had thought to travel outwards
we shall come to the center of our own existence.
And where we had thought to be alone
we shall be with all the world.
